Hi! First off, you are my greatest idol :) I was wondering, why did you leave Apple? (Thanks in advance!)

So I called up Steve Jobs and told him "Macintosh team's in great shape, I'm gonna go back to college and get my degree." I had one year left to go. If I waited another year it would be too late to ever go back to college again actually. So I went back to Berkeley under the fake name Rocky Raccoon Clark, and that's what it says on my Berkeley diploma.

Are you still part of a segway polo league?

So, kind of about once a year when the final International championship comes up, or the European championships, I'll fly over and participate and play. It's a skill you don't totally forget.

But if you're thinking about polo, you have to have strong hands with a mallet, and I have very weak hands now; I'm getting older, so I'm not really a good player. But I was a very good player once! And I love the sport very much. My wife and I both play it, and we even got married at one of the segway polo matches, on 08/08/08 at 8:08 PM, of course.

What is the most funny prank that you've pulled?

I did like the one where I put a little ticking electronic metronome in a school locker, back when very few people could build such things as a ticking metronome; and I had it rigged so that when you opened the locker, a little tinfoil switch caused the ticking to speed up.

These days I'm wearing an Apple Watch. It's the stainless steel sapphire one. I like that it's got a magnetic band. I don't remember where it was on the price scale... I think it's kinda towards the low end of all those watches. But I just love this little flexible magnetic bend.

Of course, every once in awhile I'll put my hand on a table in a restaurant, and pull my hand back, and it pulls back the fork with me, that attaches to the magnet of the watch. That's kinda funny.
